As the global financial landscape shifts from traditional systems to a token economy, it offers a transformative opportunity for a more inclusive financial system. Tokenization is projected to save up to $20 billion annually in global clearing and settlement costs and can unlock $16 trillion of illiquid assets by 2030.
The design and participation in digital asset market infrastructure are emerging as critical strategic and policy issues. This roundtable will bring together technology companies, financial institutions, and policymakers to explore various infrastructure models where digital assets are issued, transacted, or utilised.
Key Discussion Points:
- Motivations behind different infrastructure designs for digital assets, including regulatory, technological, and economic drivers.
- Opportunities created by the tokenization of assets, from improving liquidity to enabling new financial products and services.
- Challenges faced by both market participants and regulators, including issues around interoperability, compliance, and scalability.
- The role of technology companies and financial institutions in shaping the infrastructure for digital assets.
- Policy implications and how senior executives can collaborate with regulators to build resilient and secure digital asset ecosystems.
By the end of the session, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the strategic considerations, risks, and collaborative opportunities in designing digital asset infrastructures, ensuring they align with market needs and regulatory frameworks.
